WDR72
Introduction
WD repeat-containing protein 72 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the WDR72 gene.[1] WDR72 contains 7 WD40 repeats, which are predicted to form the blades of a 7 beta propeller structure.
Clinical significance
Clinical significance
Mutations in this gene cause autosomal-recessive hypomaturation amelogenesis imperfecta.[2]
